The present invention provides a portable illumination apparatus that is quickly installed into an existing cupboard or cabinet. The portable illumination apparatus runs on battery power and typically includes incandescent lamps, or LED lamps. An automatic on/off switching unit is responsive to the opening and closing of the cabinet door. In the preferred embodiment, the switching unit includes a protruding member which extends to the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is closed it rotates or depresses the protruding member, which in turn opens the switching unit contacts. When the cabinet door opens, a resilient member within the switching unit forces the contacts closed, thus providing battery power to the lamps, which then become illuminated.
